Flagship of the Skyward Vanguard
Valor's Flagship is a mythic vehicle that reads like a combat plan. As Valor's Flagship you get Flying, first strike, and lifelink on a 7 7 body once crewed, which lets it trade up and stabilize life totals in midrange matchups. The crew 3 requirement keeps it accessible to aggressive builds while its high printed stats make it a credible attacker and blocker when it sails above the battlefield.
The card also doubles as a token engine through its cycling mode. Cycling X{2}{W} lets you trade the Flagship for tempo and an army of 1 1 Pilot tokens that can saddle Mounts and crew Vehicles as though their power were 2 greater. That interaction gives you flexible lines: press an early advantage with pilots, and later crew the Flagship to close the game. Practical, compact, and tuned for Aetherdrift strategies.
